"We had my father cremated. We chose Kilgore because it was convenient to where he lived. It is not near where we live, so we probably won't choose to use your services in the future. We did not have a service, so those questions don't apply to us. We were pleased with Drew. He was always available. The length of time to receive Dad's ashes an

d the death certificates were as expected. Thank-you!"
